A long time coming finally came this past weekend, as Landon Britt held on by inches for his first career victory with the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) presented by RacinDirt.com feature.<\/p>\n
His first trip to Victory Lane with the series came at Arrowhead Speedway (Colcord, Okla.) on Friday, September 1.<\/p>\n
Racing a tire ready to fail coming to the checkered flag, the No. 10 shot up the track, and launched off the wall coming to the finish. Beating Jason Martin to the line, the margin of victory was a mere 0.021-seconds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat last lap was killer. No tires left, I had no grip coming out of the corner, and I was headed right for that wall, but I was going to hit it to win it,\u201d chuckled Britt, who did tap the wall coming to the checkered flag.<\/p>\n
Making the win even better for Britt is doing so with his family, \u201cIt means a lot. My parents are the ones who really support this deal for me, and my Mom doesn\u2019t get to come out to a lot of these, but she was able to come to this one and see a win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Racing at Longdale (Okla.) Speedway on Saturday, Britt collected his tenth top five finish of the season, despite then engine pouring smoke the last half of the race. Fourth at the white flag, the No. 55b of Brandon Anderson snuck by coming off the final turn.<\/p>\n
Landon is currently seventh in the latest ASCS standings.<\/p>\n
